News Summary

• Tehran has turned Bitcoin mining, stablecoins, and domestic exchanges into a parallel financial system designed to survive Washington's maximum pressure campaign.
• The US has seized approximately $1 billion in Iranian-linked digital assets, a figure that sounds impressive until you realize it represents roughly 13% of the ecosystem’s estimated total value.
• For every dollar Washington grabs, about seven more remain in circulation.
• If that ratio holds or worsens, expect escalating regulatory responses that could affect stablecoin issuers, mining pools, and decentralized exchanges.
